Have you ever made fruit infused water?

If not then you should try this refreshing detox water that is not just cooling but also loaded with nutrients.

I never thought of adding fruits (except for lemon and limes) into the water until a couple years back when I tried orange infused water in our University dining and absolutely fell in love with it. Since then I started making nutrient water at home more often.

I know it is not just me, people also love infused-water.

Proof?

This May I had shared fresh strawberry detox water which has got more than 65k shares on social media. When I shared this recipe I never thought it would receive so much love. I was really feeling reluctant before sharing the recipe thinking who would even be interested in this simple recipe. But I was proved wrong. Sometimes simple and healthy recipes can get more love than you’d expect.

Combine everything in a glass pitcher or a large mason jar. Then add ice cubes and chilled drinking water. Your drinking water just got a healthy makeover.
